SCA & Jousting
SCA jousting is a good place to start. They use foam and very light contact, which also means minimum armor requirements while getting started and potentially learning the basics.
Ulrich von Liechtenstein
One of my heroes and the original ladies man, Ulrich von Liechtenstein. Famous as much for his abilities and actions as his book The Service of Ladies.
Medieval Cavalry
Some thoughts regarding an professor’s opinion of Medieval cavalry and the in-effectiveness of such troops in general. I counter his opinion based on some actual horsemanship and horse sense, as well as having seen the fear of folks not used to horses.
Busted Flat
Stuck at home instead of heading off at Gulf Wars in 2009 as is planned. A good time to start work on a blog for Medieval activities.
